Directions

  1. Tie the branches together in the middle, forming an “X” shape. Wrap the yarn tightly around the juncture several times so that it is secure.
  2. Trace each template onto 2 pieces of construction paper, and then cut them out. If desired, decorate each shape.
  3. Place the matching shapes back-to-back, and then have an adult help you staple them together around the edges. Leave one side open.
  4. Stuff the shapes with tissue or newspaper, through the openings you've left.
  5. When your shapes are stuffed, staple the openings closed.
  6. Punch a hole in the top of each 3-D shape. Thread a piece of yarn through each hole.
